Does anyone here own a 'Tech2" Scanner?
My 2001 Isuzu Rodeo sport manual relies on the tech2 for all diagnostics.
I am contemplating a purchase and I was wondering how versatile they are I also have an05 Subaru Legacy GT and a 93 Ford Ranger.
I dont want to spend all that cash,$3000 or so for something that is limited to a few makes.
Thanks SF

Your Rodeo does not rely on a Tech 2 for all diagnostics. Most DIY'ers can get by with a simple OBD2 code reader. Spending $3k for a device to use at home is a little out there.

Yeah 3 grand that is without the software.I have a scanner an OTC Nemesis and it won't get me in to my emissions test,and I can't pass inspection.Its all in another tread,I am out of ideas.I just want the NYS sticker

Will it allow you to control the duty and purge solenoid to determine if they function properly?
That is where I am with my diagnostics-it basically says use the tech2 to command the solenoid etc.
I am looking for other methods of testing,this is really becoming a problem,the car is not legal to drive now.My nearest dealership is more than 20 mi away.It may be my only solution-pay Isuzu to fix it.Thanks,Carl

I gave up on it too much,money for limited use.If I was loaded it would be a cool toy.
